Community Outline

The purpose of this community is to provide a place for egalitarian discussion of gender equality, free of disrespectful behavior, dogmatic ideologies, trolling, hate speech, and personal attacks.

Hate Speech and Civility

Discussion and diverse opinions are encouraged. Non-hostile disagreement, logical argumentation, and other types of good faith disagreement are both expected and encouraged.

Misandry, misogyny, and other forms of sexism; racism; homophobia or transphobia; personal attacks and insults (including ad hominem fallacies, attacks on the basis of association alone, stalking, and harassment); trolling or outright flamebaiting; attacking an entire movement (e.g., feminism, gay rights, men’s rights, etc.); or other behavior clearly in bad faith or antithetical to the purpose of the community is unwelcome and subject to moderation.

Harassment will either result in a warning, or in a ban, depending on the nature and severity of the harassment. We have a zero tolerance policy towards posting the personal info of others. Harassment includes but is not limited to behaviors such as cherry-picking quotes from a user’s comment history, belligerent messaging, and stalking -- i.e., “cyber-bullying.” Be nice!

Extremism, Dogmatism, and Ideology

One of the goals of this community is to provide a place for those who choose to identify as gender egalitarian rather than necessarily entirely with one ideological perspective (e.g., feminism or men’s rights activism). Those who do identify with an ideology are welcome to participate, provided their participation is respectful, non-dogmatic, and non-extremist.

Banning

Bans will typically be preceded by a warning, except for egregious violations (spamming, obvious trolling, etc.) Banned users may petition the moderators via the moderation messaging system to be unbanned. Repeated or harassing messages to be unbanned are counterproductive.

Alt Accounts

Alt account abuse (“sockpuppetry”) is prohibited and will result in the main account and its alts being banned.

Meta Discussion

Our goal as a subreddit is to provide meaningful content for people interested in gender egalitarianism. Meta discussion -- discussion about the community itself (threads about other threads, other users, community practices, complaints about the reddit or its users, etc.) is prohibited.

Users should message the mods directly if they feel they need to address a meta issue. Please allow 24 hrs for a response.

Off-topic discussion in threads is discouraged but not prohibited, unless done egregiously or with obvious intent to derail the conversation.

Spamming

Spamming -- overly numerous submissions or identical or substantively equivalent comments from a user within a short time span -- are prohibited.

Planned Disruption

Organized attacks on the reddit, including downvote-brigading, attack campaigns, cross-posting to incite drama, or statements of intent towards such disruptions, are prohibited.
